wwiifirearms Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Thought I could kick things off with pics of my rifles. Note the variations in rear sights between the two. http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss281/wwiifirearms/DSC00087-1.jpg http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss281/wwiifirearms/DSC00086-1.jpg http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss281/wwiifirearms/DSC00085-1.jpg http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss281/wwiifirearms/DSC00084-1.jpg http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss281/wwiifirearms/DSC00067.jpg http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss281/wwiifirearms/DSC00068.jpg http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss281/wwiifirearms/DSC00069.jpg http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss281/wwiifirearms/DSC00070.jpg -wwiifirearms Edited January 10, 2011 by wwiifirearms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSMGguy Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Was fortunate to find a thoroughly minty M1941 in .30-06 with Netherlands purchasing commission markings. Have only had it to the range once but found it to be reliable and very accurate when shooting surplus Danish M2 ball ammo. I know that it borders on heresy, but the M1941 Johnson rifle and the M1 Garand are thoroughly similar in their capabilities and performance. The M1941 might even have a slight edge as it is easily loaded with stripper clips and the 10 rd. magazine is quickly topped off with loose rounds. Cleaning is a snap as only the bore is exposed to powder residue. Everything else is just a wipe down. Recoil is very mild, as much of the recoil is absorbed in cycling the action. These guns were also produced in 7mm Mauser for the South American military market. They must have been a joy to shoot!

Kilroy Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Was fortunate to find a throughly minty M1941 in .30-06 with Netherlands purchasing comission markings. Have only had it to the range once, but found it to be reliable and very accurate when shooting surplus Danish M2 ball ammo. I know that it borders on heresy, but I actually prefer the M1941 Johnson rifle to the M1 Garand. It's easily loaded with stripper clips, and the 10 rd. magazine is quickly topped off with loose rounds. Cleaning is a snap, too, as only the bore is exposed to burning powder. Recoil is very mild, as much of the recoil is absorbed in cycling the action. These guns were also produced in 7mm Mauser for the South American military market. They must have been a joy to shoot!I think if the Johnson was afforded the same advantage of development as Garand had it wouldve been a real winner. After all, look how much of the designs of Johnson ended up in the stoner rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSMGguy Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Mine, and the "tent peg" bayonet. The rifle is minty with a mirror bore. Got lucky in finding it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
